Winter Projects

Even though it has been a very wet winter and we are overseeded we have still found a little time to complete a few winter projects.

Back in December we installed some drainage around the 150 pole in #3 fairway. This area has been doing much better since then.

We also installed a new drainage line between the cart path and the tee on #17. This is an area that has been wet for a long time and it will be nice to have it dry this year.

Also on #3, we added a new drain basin about 75 yards out on the right hand side, in the rough. This area catches a lot of runoff water from the hill to the right of the path and everything on the right side of the hole from the green. We installed the drain just outside of the fairway to try and catch as much water as we could before it traveled across the fairway to the large basin in the middle of the fairway. We still plan to come back sometime and install some French drainage from our new basin up towards the green, but for now this is helping to keep the fairway drier. You can see in the last picture that it is working and it is catching most of the water that used to travel across the fairway.
